2013-04-04 #4 another accidental win !

Now it gets weird ...  I finished the last post by saying I'd be more careful about turning experts off on the platform when I didn't need them so I wouldn't accidentally make a fortune. I *swear* I turned EAs off before I even wrote that.

A couple of hours later I click back into the platform to check something for the blog post and what do I find? Experts are turned off, yes, but there's ANOTHER winning trade on the CHFJPY that I'm damn sure I didn't take because I was doing the blog post at the time it entered.

I'm not going to complain about the win, again, but I must say I turned the platform right off after finding it !

For the record it made 48.25 from 5115.84, which is a 0.94% win - a rather odd number. It was a [tp] exit not a stop loss, so that's what it was aiming for, very odd. Still it gives me a closing balance for the night of 5164.09 and an overall result for the night of -9.92 from 5174.01, which is a measly -0.19%.

I'm going to leave it in the results because no matter how it happened it did happen, and this is all about finding out what the trading is like in practice where strange things do happen, rather than nice tidy theory.
